Chapter 1481: Chapter 1398: Dorne’s Radar Company

For the countries of the world, the technology of jet engines is no longer something incomprehensible. At least in principle, many engineering technicians have already approached the threshold of jet engine technology.

However, it remains a very complex technology, with manufacturing and materials constraints affecting almost every country attempting to develop its own engines.

The Great Tang Empire can export corresponding technology to some friendly countries, but these technologies are obviously somewhat outdated, capable of producing only engines that the Great Tang Empire exports.

Even so, the engines that the Great Tang Empire agrees to export are still advanced, at least to those countries.

Using these imported equipment, materials… the Poplar Empire assembled and produced its first Elf jet fighter: the F-104 Fighter Jet.

This fighter jet can easily surpass twice the speed of sound, compared to the previously equipped ME-262 Fighter Jet of the Poplar Empire, it seems like alien technology.

Everyone in the Poplar Empire is very satisfied with this new fighter jet, and this deal was once again negotiated by Duke Leibart of the Poplar Empire.

With its good relationship with the Great Tang Empire, the Poplar Empire indeed obtained technology that many other countries could not. After all, who wouldn’t take advantage of the fact that the Poplar Empire has a Princess serving as an Imperial Concubine in the Great Tang Empire, and a duke’s son holding a high position within it.

However, while the Great Tang Empire sold the F-104 Fighter Jet to the Poplar Empire, it also provided the Ice Cold Empire with its advanced self-use model, the Jian-6 Fighter Jet!

The Dwarves also greatly favor this brand-new fighter jet, as they suffered considerable losses in aerial engagements with the Elves, thus they are determined to strengthen their shortcomings this time.

Aside from these two countries, the Suthers Empire purchased the Mirage Fighter Jet, for which they spent a substantial amount of money.

After all, compared to the Jian-6 and the Widowmaker F-104, the French Mirage Fighter Jet apparently offers superior performance, among other aspects.

Moreover, Laines the Second, who just ascended the throne as the Emperor, also spent a huge sum to purchase the Hunter Fighter Jet from the Great Tang Empire after establishing peace with them.

This fighter jet, designed by John Bull, has a peculiar appearance compared to the earlier models, but its performance is decent, thus the Laines Empire is quite satisfied.

Dorne faced a miserable situation this time, as they couldn’t negotiate fighter jet purchases with the enemy Great Tang Empire, so they had to turn their attention to another arms company: Shireck.

Everyone knows which parent company Shireck belongs to, but since the matter remains unspoken, they can feign ignorance when necessary.

As expected, Dorne found what they needed at Shireck: a jet fighter called the 86.

Although, compared to planes from other countries, the 86 type fighter features older nose intake design and lacks speed compared to the Jian-6 or 104, it is still much more advanced than the planes Dorne currently possesses.

After all, if Dorne doesn’t obtain these technologically outdated jet fighters, they would only have the even more outdated ME-262 Fighter Jets.

Even this type of fighter was originally stolen from the Poplar Empire, and its appearance had to be modified to avoid recognition by the Great Tang Empire…

Thus, Dorne spent a substantial sum to purchase the technology for the F-86 Peidao Fighter Jet from Shireck, to be produced alongside the existing ME-262 Fighter Jets.

Indeed, they will be produced together, as the fighter jet seeking Dorne has no choice but to seek urgent solutions to expand their Air Force fighter jet troop size quickly.

This urgency arises from the need to directly confront the Great Tang Empire Navy’s carrier-based aircraft threat, requiring a sufficient number of jet fighters to secure air supremacy.

Furthermore, Dorne’s Air Force also believes that the ME-262, which they call the 262 type fighter, despite being technologically outdated, is relatively easier to produce.

Additionally, the plane can install a large amount of equipment in the nose, possibly converting it into a night fighter or installing a new radar, hence the 262 Fighter Jet production cannot be abandoned.

As for the source of advanced radar…

“Rest assured, we have reduced the size of our radar to fit inside a plane.” Pan Yiping sat in his seat, conversing eloquently with the purchasing envoys from Dorne and other countries.

He is definitely in high demand now, since his radar plant investment in Dorne harnesses the advanced technology “stolen” from the Great Tang Empire.

With these invaluable technologies, Pan Yiping’s equipment company prospers remarkably in Dorne, and he himself has become the most popular rich man there.

With this identity layer, Pan Yiping accessed numerous crucial intelligence reports from Dorne, including locations of all coastal radar stations, radar models installed, frequency bands used, and even the training level of those operating these radars.

Moreover, Pan Yiping also controlled information regarding the Dorne military’s fighter jet production quantity, related technology development progress, and could acquire this classified information with a mere phone call.

Furthermore, since his radar technology is slightly superior to the radar sold by the Great Tang Empire, other countries also purchase radar products from him.

Thus, Pan Yiping can even monitor other countries’ plane production numbers, radar equipment quantities, and frequency bands, among other intelligence.

The previously planted espionage seeds in Dorne are now blossoming and bearing fruit, allowing the Great Tang Empire to fully understand the military readiness of Eastern Continent countries.

The reason for updating the radar technology of Eastern Continent countries is to provide better opponents for the advanced weapons the Great Tang Empire plans to deploy in the future.

Using Tomahawk Cruise Missiles to attack Scud Missile Launchers is certainly cost-effective, but if the adversary possesses only Anti-Aircraft Guns, using Tomahawks becomes a loss-making proposition.

Currently, on the Qin Country frontline, the presence of too many low-value targets seriously impedes the Great Tang Empire’s offensive speed: using missiles to hit these targets lacks cost-effectiveness, forcing them to resort to artillery for shelling bit by bit, causing significant delay for the Great Tang Empire.

In the strategy for the Eastern Continent, Tang Mo plans to adopt a different approach: find ways to provide Eastern Continent countries with high-value targets worth attacking, indirectly increasing their war expenses so they can bring combat back to the Great Tang Empire’s advantageous state.

After all, no matter how wealthy the Great Tang Empire is, they wouldn’t want to use Anti-Aircraft Guns to kill mosquitoes, right?
